Let me address you in this way: my dear girl, I am a seventy-year-old man who has lived through so many experiences—both positive and negative—that have left their mark.

Sofía was my first daughter; we used to call her ‘Pan de Leche’ because of her pale pink complexion at birth. At the age of three, she suffered a haemorrhagic crisis that kept her in hospital for a couple of months. The devastating news: Sofía has leukaemia. From then on, the journey began to find treatment and new diagnoses. We were living in Venezuela when that so-called ‘21st-century socialism’ was being established in a beautiful country that began to decline drastically.

Shortly after Sofía turned 11, we were already warned that as she grew older, she would die. She left us on a quiet afternoon...

That is why I am so attached to Yusbely. In her, I see and feel Sofía.

How old are you? Thank you for your lovely comment. A hug full of blessings.
